A Gateway to GP Careers in Ireland: Highlights from GP Expo South Africa
The GP Expo South Africa 2025 in Johannesburg was an incredible experience for the Locumotion team. Over two action-packed days at the Sandton Convention Centre, we had the privilege of meeting so many talented General Practitioners eager to explore career opportunities in Ireland.
Our stand was buzzing with conversations as doctors shared their aspirations, asked insightful questions about IMC registration, visa processes, and the practicalities of relocating. It was inspiring to see the enthusiasm of South African GPs considering Ireland as their next professional destination. Whether they were looking for locum, contract, or permanent roles, we were delighted to guide them through the steps and reassure them that the journey to Ireland is well-supported with Locumotion.
Hearing first-hand from doctors about their career ambitions and answering their queries reminded us of the importance of events like these. From discussing flexible work arrangements to highlighting the benefits of Ireland’s primary healthcare system, our team, including Dr. Paddy Halligan and Michelle O’Sullivan, was grateful for the opportunity to connect with so many outstanding medical professionals.
